Actually a simple cardboard box is fine as well as “ brown bagging “ techniques. Cardboard IMO is better as it is more permeated over solid wood.

You literally can go buy a UHaul Garment moving box , place a small extraction fan at upper BACKSIDE of box , cut a 1/2” slot horizontally at front bottom for a passive inlet or even cut a small hole for vent hose 4” and use a flexy duct at lower side corner like a tent.

passive air inlet , extraction fan , hang some sting or wire across inside or in a tier setup … thats it.

Been there done that project. Then i just bought a tent
Exactly what I did. Its called negative air flow we use set up in asbestos removal. Bunch of trolls talking mold. Lol

If you see a faded sign at the side of the road that says
Fifteen miles to the, mold shack, mold shack yeah
I'm headin' down the Atlanta highway
Lookin' for the love getaway
Headed for the love getaway, love getaway
I got me a car, it's as big as a whale
And we're headin' on down to the mold shack
I got me a Chrysler, it seats about twenty
So hurry up and bring your jukebox money
The mold shack is a little old place where
We can get together
Mold shack baby
A mold shack baby
Mold shack, baby mold shack
Mold shack, baby move shack
Mold shack, baby mold shack
Mold shack, baby mold shack

You're what?

Busted !

Well … kudos for attempt . Even tho that is much too much effort for such a simple solution. One could get a simple 3x3 tent - proper extraction setup and hang from supports or hang a mesh rack … buts just me I suppose.

But …. Wood is porous and easy to mold inner layer.
so there’s that.
Happy Friday!
Seriously troll stretching.

Hey noob

You posted a picture of your hygrometer reading 91F

I asked how you’re going to cool it down to 60F where it should be for a proper dry?
And I’m the troll?

Yes cardboard box works fine and cardboard is 10x more porous BTW. Its airflow. Thats all that matters

Hey einstein - I mentioned cardboard is permeable meaning gases can move thru it. As in drying method …
Where is this link to 10x compared to wood ?

The term "porous" applies to a substance that has holes, or openings on its external side. Porous materials are a group of substances with moderate density, great distinct surface and a variety of unusual characteristics in the physical, automatic, and acoustical fields.
Paper, cardboard, sponges, pumice stones, untreated wood, and cork are a few examples of porous materials.

Varnished wood is non porous. 1 layer of my 6 ply is thicker than your cardboard.

So a 120mm computer case fan will be enough to keep it at a balming 90° … Sunon 100a ?

Enough to pull air thru filter batting at inlet and outlet areas ?
